Crank Il Good.

p. . b.. ~
Judge Biodgett, in the United States
District Court to-day, Sustained the de-.
murrer OF the attorney acting for The Chi
cdgo Tribune Company 10 the bill OF Albert
Il. Walker, in which the proprietors OF
the paper arc suod ior libel in referring to
a pamphlet written by the plaintiff as
'the work OF a crank" The Court decided
that the word crank" was not in itself
defamation, and that to call a person by
that name does not neceesarily furnish
grounds for action. II tho word was used
in defamatory sense it would then give
cause for action, but such sense must be
given it by an appropriate allegation or
innuendo. The Judge further remarked !:
"The complainant alleges that the word
was calculated to bring into dierepute his
ability as a lawyer. This is not enough.
Something which should show that the
word was meant to bring the plaintiff into
contempt or charge him with crime was
necessary. 1t must be conceded that to
call a person a crank is not Objectionable.
1t is not word which by its meaning in
the Engli1h language implies that per-
son has been guilty Of q crime or exposes
him to hatred, contempt, ridicule, or OBJ.
loquy; or which would tend to injure him
in his trade or profession. It is not libel
on man who has entered the field OF
authorship to underrate his talents" The
Judge quoted Carlyle as defining "crank'''
thus. "Soms strange action caused by
twisted judgment, caprice, whim, protchet
or vsgary; subject to violent pranka."

The Cool Lily,

Someone asked Mrs. Langtry recently If
abe did really put piece Of leo down the
Prince Of Wales back. That fair creature
adroitly slipped her cable and sailed into
the subject Of the weather, leaving her in
terlocutor rs wise as before. have been
told by very reliable authority that Mrs.
Langtry not only put tho leo down the
princely back, but said, aiterward, when
told by Mortified courtiers she'd ruined
herself, that "She didn't care" Now,
don't care, In cases of royalty, 10 q
dangerous support, and the Jersey
Lily tottered of her perch at the next
Queens drawineroom. Contrary to the
ADVICE Of her friends and well wishers,
who knew some action would be taken by
offended royalty, Mrs. Langtry went to
kiss her Majesty's hand. and had the
honor withheld from her in the presence
Of the court The Queen calmly folded
her arms and the beauty retired from the
scone cs quickly as dignity and mortidca-
ton would allow her to do. The Prince
recovered from tho blow, but the lady has
felt the consequence in more ways than
ono ever since. The Queen said at the
time nobody should ronp with the Prince
OF Wales and since then s'nobodyu has,
as far IS the world knows.
